Hungarian Vizsla Breeders, Waikato Region NZ

The All Round Companion Hunter - Breeding for Soundness, Temperament, Working and Show. My dogs happily go from sleeping on the bed .. to swimming the widest river .. to searching out feather or fur game .. to strutting their stuff in the show ring .. and back home to be lap dogs and loved pets! They have also successfully competed in agility, obedience and field trials. My involvement with Vizslas began in 1990. A growing dedication to the breed has seen me set out to learn as much as I can. This includes joining international lists and discussing the breed with people around the world, traveling to different countries to see other dogs, importing semen and starting a national breed newsletter. My dedication continues with an education campaign to help new people understand the breed and give an idea about breeders responsibilities. This is supported by articles I have written and had published, web pages, a VizslaNZ yahoo list and a booklet I have written on the subject (booklet available by email – just email me and ask or go to http://trader.co.nz/dogtrain/articles.htm to read this and some of my other articles). It is exciting to see ‘my’ dogs earning their keep with the hunters, enjoying themselves in competition activities, prancing around the show ring and, most importantly, becoming loved and trusted family members for so many people.

KOMHV is a small Hungarian Vizsla kennel in Waihi, New Zealand. My journey with vizslas began 13 years ago with "Otis" (Oakburn Petra), whose boundless energy and gentle spirit captured my heart. As a marathon runner and outdoor enthusiast, I found the perfect partnering the Vizsla -loyal, athletic, and always ready for adventure. I grew up surrounded by dogs. My mother bred Jack Russell Terriers, and my sister breeds Cocker Spaniels and is a Gundog Show Judge. With this strong foundation of ethical breeding and dog showing -l have learnt a deep respect for breed standards, health and temperament. My journey into Vizsla breeding began with our "Otis" (Oakburn Petra), who has sired several healthy, well-tempered litters over the last 8 years. His exceptional lineage, steady temperament, and classic Vizsla drive made him the ideal foundation stud dog. From there I carefully selected his daughter, Troffin Marigold, as our future breeding bitch. With her outstanding pedigree, gentle disposition, and strong resemblance to her sire, she is a perfect match to carry forward Otis's legacy and my vision for the breed future. Ive grown to deeply appreciate the intelligence, sensitivity and versatility of this breed. At KOMHV our Vizslas are raised in nature, roaming beaches, swimming rivers and exploring mountian trails. At KOMHV I focus on raising well- socialised, healthy vizslas that are ready to be your running partner, family companion, or best bud in the great outdoors.
